Restoration Projects

Restoring salmon in the Columbia River Basin

CRITFC and its member tribes, the Nez Perce, Umatilla, Warm Springs, and Yakama, are actively involved in salmon restoration efforts throughout the Columbia River Basin. These projects are funded by various agencies, such as the Bonneville Power Administration and the Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund.

All of the tribes’ projects are directed by the principals of Wy-Kan-Ush-Mi Wa-Kish-Wit to provide fisheries benefits now and in the future.

The tribal projects represent only a small percentage of the total tribal salmon recovery efforts in the Columbia River Basin. Although these restoration efforts are beneficial, by themselves they are not enough. It will take everyone who lives in the Basin to restore the salmon. We all have a stake in the survival of salmon and the natural environment that supports them, because, in fact, that environment sustains us all.
